DARPA has announced the launch of a public website offering anyone access to its open source offerings, the Open Catalog. With this comes the hope easy access will facilitate more rapid development of software that meets government needs, allowing experts to build upon the foundation laid by others.
This movement meets the long-standing requests by the public for results on its research and development efforts. The Open Catalog aims to solve this by providing the results via data gathered, details on experiments, various publications, and software. Anyone can access it.
